The overlay and the ad-skip release. Change songs, watch what's playing, and skip YouTube ads without leaving your game.

Highlights

  • In-game overlay: a translucent now-playing card (album art, title, artist, progress) that fades in on track changes and hides itself. Click-through by default, so your game never loses input. Ctrl+Alt+O toggles it, Ctrl+Alt+I makes it draggable.
  • YouTube ad-skip: pair the GameDeck Companion browser extension (in the repo's extension/ folder; Chrome Web Store listing under review) and the overlay shows an amber strip when an ad plays in a background tab, green when it becomes skippable. Press Ctrl+Alt+S and keep playing.
  • Everything stays on your machine: the extension talks to the app over a token-authenticated WebSocket bound to 127.0.0.1 only. No telemetry.

Setup for ad-skip

  1. Load extension/ unpacked via chrome://extensions (Developer mode) until the store listing is live.
  2. Tray icon, right click, "Copy extension token".
  3. Paste into the extension's options page and save. Dot turns green.
